Mediterranean Stuffed chicken story
Hello Everyone!
It’s mid-August and the veggies and herbs I panted back in April are finally producing…is an over
abundance right now. All the fresh produce has me scrambling to come up with recipes to use it all!
Here’s what I found in the garden to use in this dish:
Cherry tomatoes in two varieƟes add fresh sweetness to the topping.
Cucumbers are peeled and chopped in the topping
Fresh herbs – basil, thyme, oregano and parsley are all featured in both the stuffing and topping are all
from the garden
The spinach, onion and peppers, cheeses and chicken are from the farmer’s market and compliment the
garden ingredients perfectly.
Serve with lightly sautéed vegetables or a simply dressed grain salad for a great late summer supper
